FOLLOWING a recent fall outside of the community centre on Ryemead Lane, Wyke Regis, I wish to pass on my sincere thanks to my friends who initially helped me.

The wonderful paramedics who treated me for the cut to my head and safely delivered me to the accident and emergency department at Dorset County Hospital.

I was given first-class treatment on a very busy, wet afternoon.

When the NHS are under so much pressure and often bad reporting, I wish to congratulate all the healthcare professionals who took their time to help and look after me until I was safely home. A very big thank you.
